Completing a Play Slip

Ask your clerk for a Quick Pick to have the computer randomly select your numbers for you.
If you have a favorite set of numbers, complete a Big Sky Bonus play slip and give it to your Lottery retailer, or insert it into a play slip reader at our self-service terminals.
Use a pen or pencil in any color other than red.
Select four numbers from 1 through 31 on the top panel of the play slip, or select Quick Pick (QP).
Select one number from 1 through 16 (the Bonus Number) on the bottom panel, or select Quick Pick (QP).
You can purchase one, two, three, four or five plays on a play slip.
Each play costs $2.
You can play the same set(s) of numbers for up to 7 consecutive draws. If you want more than one draw, mark the number of draws in the multi-draw section of the play slip.
You may also make your selections using e-Playslip.

Reading Your Ticket

The top portion of your ticket provides the draw dates your ticket is valid for. The date range and the total number of draws will appear in this area.
Each play, marked by a letter (e.g., A., B., C., D., and E.) is listed on the ticket in the play area. Each play consists of four numbers along with the second line of the play which is your Big Sky Bonus Number.
The total purchase price for the ticket will appear below the play area.

How You Win

Match your numbers and your Big Sky Bonus number to the official numbers drawn by the Lottery. Each play is played separately.
Players can win by matching two, three or four of the four drawn numbers. Players can also win by matching the Big Sky Bonus number. Match all four numbers and win the progressive jackpot. Match 3 of 4 numbers and win $20. Match 2 of 4 numbers and win $2. Match the Bonus Number and win $10.
There is no maximum payout on the jackpot prize. If more than one player matches all four numbers, the jackpot will be divided equally between all winners.
You can check your tickets using a Ticket Checker or ask your Lottery retailer to check using the Lottery terminal. Always sign your ticket before giving it to a Lottery retailer.
